Toilet chip repair in Shotley Bridge, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
See our prices page.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Shotley Bridge
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
